the black moth - laureli amadeus lyrics

[verse 1]
as long as it’s me
what does it matter?
the black moth spreads its wings
from the attic into the courtyard
oh, nothing’s really changed

[verse 2]
we may have dulled the static
but the languor endures in my heart
heavy and dark
oh, this wound won’t heal, just scar
[bridge]
when i was five
i dreamt of metal birds and napalm skies
a world beyond our grieving heights
and i thought, “beautiful, beautiful.”
“life must be beautiful, beautiful.”
then came the sandfall, sandfall
what childish delight

[verse 3] bruno, (alma)
(son, if you leave, you might as well be dead)
oh, but can’t you see, i already am
(you pray like a sinner with the pyre alight)
then let me burn, ’cause your cold gaze bites

[verse 4] bruno, (alma)
(we can see you getting thinner)
drink my tears, mamá
(i can’t watch you waste away)
your face has gone sallow
(you’ve got eyes just like your father)
and by the time we’re older
did the salt make it any better?
(i can’t look away, i can’t look away)
did the salt make it any better?
[outro]
rock me to sleep and love me
from the cradle to the urn
rock me to sleep and love me
from the cradle to the urn
